Observation of a resonancelike structure in the pi +- psi' mass distribution in exclusive B-->Kpi +- psi' decays

A distinct peak is observed in the pi +/- psi' invariant mass distribution near 4.43 GeV in B-->K pi +/- psi' decays. A fit using a Breit-Wigner resonance shape yields a peak mass and width of M=4433+/-4(stat)+/-2(syst) MeV and Gamma=45-13+18(stat)-13+30(syst) MeV. The product branching fraction is determined to be B(B 0-->K -/+Z+/-(4430)) x B(Z+/-(4430)-->pi+/-psi')=(4.1+/-1.0(stat)+/-1.4(syst)) x 10(-5), where Z+/-(4430) is used to denote the observed structure. The statistical significance of the observed peak is 6.5 sigma. These results are obtained from a 605 fb(-1) data sample that contains 657 x 10(6) BB pairs collected near the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy e+ e- collider.     

Search for B+-->D*+pi0 decay

We report on a search for the doubly Cabibbo suppressed decay B+-->D*+pi0, based on a data sample of 657x10(6) BB pairs collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider. We find no significant signal and set an upper limit of B(B+-->D*+pi0)<3.6x10(-6) at the 90% confidence level. This limit can be used to constrain the ratio between suppressed and favored B-->D*pi decay amplitudes, r<0.051, at the 90% confidence level.     

Time-dependent CP-violating asymmetry in B0-->rho0gamma decays

We report the first measurement of CP-violation parameters in B0-->rho0gamma decays based on a data sample of 657x10(6)BB pairs collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider. We obtain the time-dependent and direct CP-violating parameters, Srho0gamma=-0.83+/-0.65(stat)+/-0.18(syst) and Arho0gamma=-0.44+/-0.49(stat)+/-0.14(syst), respectively.     

Measurement of time-dependent CP-violating parameters in B(0)-->K_(S)(0)K_(S)(0) decays

We report a measurement of the CP-violating parameters in B;{0}-->K_{S}{0}K_{S}{0} decays based on a data sample of 657x10{6} BB[over ] pairs collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e;{+}e{-} collider. In this Letter, one neutral B meson is fully reconstructed in the B;{0}-->K_{S}{0}K_{S}{0} decay mode, and the flavor of the accompanying B meson is identified by its decay products. The CP-violating parameters are measured from the asymmetry in the distributions of the proper-time interval between the two B decays: S_K_{S}{0}K_{S}{0}}=-0.38_{-0.77}{+0.69}(stat)+/-0.09(syst) and A_{K_{S}{0}K_{S}{0}}=-0.38+/-0.38(stat)+/-0.05(syst).     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of La(NO<Subscript>2</Subscript>)(SO<Subscript>4</Subscript>)(H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O)

Abstract Single crystals of new open-framework lanthanide sulphate nitrite La(NO₂)(SO₄)(H₂O) has been synthesized, in the presence of 2,6-diformyl-4-chlorophenol. His structure has been determined by X-ray diffraction data: the complex crystallizes in the tetragonal system, space group P4₃, with a = 7.0028(2) (?), b = 7.0028(2) (?), c = 11.8341(4) ?, V = 580.34(3) ?³, Z = 4, D _c = 3.582 Mg m⁻³. The three-dimensional (3D) framework of this compound is built up by the linkages of lanthanide atoms and the oxygen atoms of the sulphate and nitrite groups. The lanthanum atom is 9-fold coordinated. The structure is unfamiliar in lanthanide chemistry and this compound represents the first example of nitrite lanthanide sulphate complex. Graphical Abstract An unfamiliar structure in lanthanide chemistry represented by the first example of nitrite lanthanide sulphate complex is described.      

Supersymmetry in Euclidean Quantum Field Theory

Supersymmetry is formulated within a functional approach of euclidean quantum field theory. The rǒle of the euclidean Lie superalgebra and its relation to the Poincaré Lie superalgebra are investigated in detail. As example we study the Wess-Zumino model in two dimensions.
